And on another dream, i was checking my phone, and noticed some cracks/scratches on my phone, i thoght "thats not possible, i just have single vertical 4-5pixel long scratch around middle, this scratch is also not looking normal, its not physically sensible, but i still did not realize i was dreaming

Am i going,doing good? What do you think i should fix or improve on my methods to get better? And this is the second time i saw a smartphone in my dream, sometimes its really hard to distinguish between reality and dream, i will do RC's every 30 mins instead of 45 to speed up the habitualization process
I think it is great that you are starting to question your dream reality. That's the first step to initiating a DILD! Maybe don't do RCs to a set time. Wait until you think of lucid dreaming or you see something odd or unusual or surprising. I worry that you can over work yourself, but are a better judge of that than anyone. This is my personal preference, but I don't do a lot of RCs any more. Doing so many a day all day gets boring an automatic and my brain gets tired of it. I like to mix it up with other things like practice dream control in waking life and just being self aware. Maybe be a time line check; What was I doing 5 min ago and what will I be doing 5 from now. Ask yourself, How did I get here and why. See if you can remember waking up this morning. It looks like you are indeed doing some of those things anyway so that's good.

It looks like your phone is a dream sign. For me, my phone never works right in dreams. So in real life I try to remember to question reality when my phone misbehaves. I haven't done this in a dream yet but soon I am sure. Another one I have is seeing crazy things in the sky. It's my oldest of dream signs and has triggered many lucids.

Remember to be patient with yourself. Relax and enjoy the learning process. For me, if get impatient and try to force things along faster, it only lowers the odds of my getting lucid.

I hope this helps you.
